The First International Workshop on Biometrics and Image Forensics, will be held in Palinuro (SA) (Italy) on 3 June 2016. Although the goals of biometrics and media forensics are different, they have strong similarities in purposes and tools, and so BIF Workshop aims to bring together experts in these areas who have a common interest in modelling, designing and implementing. In this scenario there is continued need for vigorous research to solve many outstanding challenging problems, since technologies are rapidly evolving to acquire process and interact with new types of data such as 2.5 and 3D data, sensor data, high definition video, multi-channel high-resolution audio and internet broad-band interactive content. So BIF will cover new application fields which are emerging or becoming more viable for practical purposes especially in supporting law enforcement and investigation. Increasingly, new scenarios arise where techniques designed for biometrics can be utilized for forensic purposes, or vice-versa.

The goal of this Workshop is to document the current state-of-the-art, the latest breakthroughs achieved by the scientists working in the area of Ambient intelligence, biometric recognition and digital forensics to integrate multidisciplinary research efforts to identifying future promising research areas. We invite original contributions that provide novel solutions to challenging problems.The workshop program includes invited talks, given by leaders in the fields of interest.
